Big fights in Japan to wrap up 2014: Rigondeaux, Narvaez, Yaegashi, more

Hey boxing fans! Before you start popping up your “Fighter of the Year” and whatever you think were the best among the best in 2014. You better wait for the outcome of those matches that will be held in Japan before the year ends. Maybe one of those bouts steal the “Fight of the Year” that’s on your mind right now.

Guillermo Rigondeaux (14-0, 9 KO’s) will be back in the ring against unheralded Hisashi Amagasa (28-4-2, 19 KO’s) for Rigondeaux’s RING, WBO and WBA titles at the Bodymaker Colosseum, Osaka, Japan. This will be his second straight fight outside the US. Rigo will be coming in from a short night win over Sod Kokietgym in Macau last July. A fight that Rigo infamously won. The won seemingly was the product of a “cheap shot”. Against Amagasa, I think Rigo should deliver something other than boxing clinic — make the fight exciting — to detach the word “boring” on his boxing style.

Take a look at the rest of scheduled matches that will be held in Osaka and Tokyo, Japan before the promising year 2015 comes.

Make sure you watch them all, while having your favorite beer on your couch waiting for the new year. For me, as a boxing fan, these fights have no match to any firecrackers ever made, as one of these bouts could be war!
